This is not necessarily true: in Japan their are approx. 4 million
WAP users, and their numbers are increasing rapidly.
Thus Japanese users seem to enjoy WAP phones, and don't seem to see
WAP as a pain - if they would, there is DoCoMo's imode waiting :)
What is true however, is that WAP usage outside Japan & Korea is
pretty slow and the numbers below confirm you statement:
WAP users worldwide:
55% Japan
31% Korea
13% Europe
1% Rest of World
This has to do with business models and other factors, some of
which you can find explained in our imode-FAQ:
